To Get Started:
  1. Respond to the e-mail invite from barto to author on Elective Chatter. You will need an account with Google. If you have g-mail, this would already be a Google account. Otherwise, you can use your present e-mail address and create a Google username and password. Usernames should not include last names.
    1. To show that you are established on Google and can author on Elective Chatter, post a test entry (5 pts).
  2. Set-up your online journal site.
    1. You may pick a name for your site, again keep in mind that last names should not be used and as you all know, appropriate language, etc… is required.
    2. When you have created your site, you will need to link it to Elective Chatter (5 pts).
    3. After linking it to Elective Chatter, you need to post your first entry. Your first entry should be a general preview for Health. The units of study are listed on your Course Outline. What thoughts do you already have regarding these topics and their relevance to your life? What questions do you have in these areas? (5 pts).
  3. Find five other online blog entries from five different blogs - bonus points if they are health related. Post the following information on Elective Chatter with your initials as a tag. (25 pts)
    1. For each, list the name, url, author and main topic. Rate the entries based on the guidelines you will be using (do not include posted on due date).
    2. Would this entry be a good example, or a non-example for the entries you will need to do for your class?
